    You`ll be suprised how little you need to jack up the van to wriggle underneath ...



    Thinking about it , you`ll need to jack it higher for obvious reasons ... :p

    :hattip:

    The advantage of stock height, I don't need to jack my van up for an oil change.

    Not sure about that, I'm sitting eating M&Ms for breakfast (technically dinner as I'm just home from a night shift)

    Just extra insulation

    Now related to the thread, does anyone know if a 413mm lift jack is enough to change a wheel on a stock height bay?

    You've just got to whip the engine out now (before 3pm), then we will know if it gives enough lift!

    Unfortunately I'm at work (and going away in the van at the weekend), but i can confirm 490mm of lift, so i would say yes

    My stuff has just turned up.

    I went for the 3T garage jack with 520mm lift.

    It is more powerful than you can possibly imagine.

    I'm struggling to move it!

    Huge metal wheels as well
